authentic leader while enhancing your broader understanding of
business in all aspects.

4. What will you get from The Henley Executive MBA?
Personal Development
• Confidence – strategic leadership and research capabili-
ties will give you self-assurance in both your skills and know-
ledge as a business professional and in yourself as an intui-
tive and competent leader.
• Direction – your career outcomes and aspirations will be-
come even clearer and well within your reach. We achieve
this together through guidance on both a personal and
academic level and through interaction with talented class
members and outstanding faculty.
At Henley we recognise that one of your key objectives is
an overriding desire to develop yourself personally as well
as professionally. Therefore, Personal Development, as an
educational object is strongly integrated in all stages on
the MBA. It runs as an assessed module complemented
by:
• Interactive workshops
• Personality, behavioral and competence tests
• Written assignments
• Individual coaching
• Special study trip to South Africa
• Skills – you will gain both cutting-edge business know-
ledge and expertise, as well as the ability to impart that
knowledge and guide others with intelligence and con-
sideration.
• A world famous MBA on your CV – an MBA from the
world-renowned and triple accredited Henley Business
School is well-respected and recognised across organisa-
tions, industries and countries.
• A global network of more than 56.000 executives
engaging with Henley means that you are connected to
a top-tier network of alumni, businesses and influencers
worldwide.
Personal reflection is a key component of all assessment.
By working with subject tutors, personal tutors and peers,
you will learn to recognise your own development needs
while receiving feedback and mentoring every step of
the way. This will empower you with the self-awareness
required in a senior leadership position. You will be sur-
prised just how much you can learn about yourself when
listening to and sharing with others.

the knowledge you gain and use
that knowledge effectively

6. All assignments are based on your own organisation
Collaborative Learning in Teams
At Henley Business School, we organise teaching around
real world dilemmas and business choises. Our Executive
MBAisdesignedtobenefitbothyouasanindividuallearner
as well as the organisation you work for. Henley’s practical
approach to learning emphasizes immediate application.
You will learn how to think and act strategically to make
an impact in your workplace. All subject assignments
test your ability to apply the concepts you learn to a real
situation, and you will be assessed on your mastery of
bringing theory into practice – in your business context.
At the Henley Executive MBA programme, we believe in col-
laboration and discussion. This demands exceptionally high
levels of interaction and peer group learning from all pro-
gramme members.
To facilitate collaborative learning as well as individual excel-
lence, you will be placed in a small learning team supporting
your learning outcome throughout the programme. Henley
programme members come from a range of different indus-
tries with diverse skills, preferences and cultural orientations.
This inevitably creates challenges for teams along the way,
but at the same time allowing programme members to share
knowledge and learn from each others’ experiences and per-
spectives.
You will also be required to demonstrate insight and
understanding through reflection on yourself as a leader
and your own leadership challenges.
You bring your experience and ideas. We bring global
business management knowledge and cutting-edge con-
cepts. Together we work to apply these to your world to
understand the short and long term impact.
